A New Month!

Hello! First, I would like to say hello to all of my new followers! This is the most followers I've ever had and I love that you guys leave comments! :) When I'm done with my paper later tonight, I will definitely add you, so I can return the favor! This campaign thing is really nice. :)

And since it is a new month, it's time for an update in goals!
* Purchase tickets for Wicked starting on August 20th(DONE! I will be going on November 23rd, I am more than excited!!! We might even have dinner at the Olive Garden before! I love my friends!)

* Read first few chapters of “Living Abroad in New Zealand” by Michelle Waitzman (Done, it's really good! I just need to keep reading! I am about 1/4 of the way through the book.)

* Think of title for fantasy novel ("Nameless" and I love it!)

NEW GOALS
* Write at least 20,000 words on my current WIP (Nameless)

* Finish the country map of Menrio (for my novel Nameless, this might take some extra work since I really don't understand that program that I'm using)

* Contact Lulu.com about the possibility of having "Down in the Creek" or "To Love without Hope" professionally edited (I've never done this and it can be a little pricey, but if I just end up self-publishing either one of them, I want them to be edited and seem very professional. I'd love your thoughts on this!!)

My classes are going well, though my creative writing class is really boring me. All we do is read boring short stories and discuss them. I'm missing the "writing" part. Oh well, I know it's important to read other stories to grow, but two weeks of it is really boring. That is six hours of me day-dreaming instead. My business English class seems a little more interesting. We have to do a culture report and I've chosen New Zealand. :) Very excited about that! We also have to do a proposal and I might see if I can convince my professor to let me do a book proposal, since it still is a formal proposal.

Hey girlie! I'm not sure how much LuLu is charging, but here's a list of freelance editors who've been vouched for by other writers: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,50419.msg868939.html#msg868945

I found my current editor on that board (different thread) and can't imagine what I'd do without her. Good luck!
